ThOy took their positions with the
good will OF everybody. They have
so far done well by the country, but
not for themselves nor their party.
Not for themselves, because they
are divided; not for their party, for
the same fragrant reason, Here it
is in q nut shell. Two of them
wanting to redeem their pledge to
the party who elected them; two of
them casting pledge and honor OF
party to the winds and acting indie
pendently. / maintain again they
are both wrong. Oh, how painfully
wrong Here is nut for the Leg
islature. Here is an occasion for
you, dear BULLETIN, to give out tin
ders for On extra padding for your
fence, because you will have to stick
there and attend closely to these
very interesting proceedings "over
the garden wall.'
We have laughingly remarked
there will be no opposition. How
often must repeat the word in this
"calm stare in the face."D Wrong
again! We have long ago divided.
The blood pointed arrows have long
since been thrown into each others
camp. The war paint is daubed on
our cheeks. We are ready to kick
out, decapitate and Stay if need be.
The division hinges on this: As
/ have said above, two of the Min
listers want to redeem their pledge
to their party, that is, they want to
act according to, and in conformity
with, every plank in the platform of
their nominators and electors. The
other two oppose them on the
ground that they have no right to
belong to party.
These two last named men would
appear right il it were not that they
have first cast their word as men
aside, and secondly, use as a sub
terfuge, the excuse that the New
Constitution says, the King and not
the people appoints the Ministers,
therefore we are pledged to him but
to no party,to exercise, cherish, and
promote their private and personal
enmity Of the men who helped to
create them Cabinet Ministers. If
there be a crime of deeper dye than
all the guilty train of human vices,
it is ingratitude; and, friends, if
there be q crime worse still than
this, it is, when friend forsakes
friend, and DESERVING stabs him in
the back by abusing his confidence.
l grow impatient, l grow vexed
thinking of it. These two men were
appointed before the New Constitu-
ton was drafted. And while it was
being drafted knew every clause in
it. Why did they not resign and
take their chances of re-appoint-
ment if they are so sensitive? Oh
no, not word was said until they
saw their time and begun by strik-
ing foul dastardly blow at man
whom l would call the superior of
both. They are leaning with majes-
tic, seeming callous indifference on
their glorious hollow glass stick,
which they choose to call Right.
Gentlemen, your right is wrong;
your majestic bearing will soon
dwindle down to cringing subser-
viency; your callous indifference
will turn to expectant fear and
your glass staff of your right will
be shattered into thousand pieces.
Proving all wrong, you cannot last.
You have dug your own graves.
OF these two wrong sides the peo-
pie, the boys, the honor, the justice
aud virture of our country will
choose the least.
Give us the least by all means.
Give us the grateful against the un-
grateful. Give US the honorable
against the desertion of friendship
and abuse of friendly confidence.
| fancy see you faint, dear Editor
and slowly gasp, "Ah, there!"
Ny dear sir, they are. The last is
my size and that is the way l wear
